Dowina guitars - Words cannot possibly do justice to what makes these guitars SO special. Pretty much every aspect of what Dowina guitars are and what they represent is unique to the industry.
I created this short video to help put my feelings across and I do hope you will take the time to watch it. I visited the workshop in Slovakia in order to bring this to you.
The chap Peter, who you will see expressing his love for his work and Dowina guitars - I would like to believe I can now consider not just as someone who builds incredible guitars with love and passion but a good friend too.
This small boutique acoustic guitar builder in Slovakia can help you build an acoustic guitar of your dreams - and we are here to ensure that happens in the most wonderful and memorable way possible.
I have personally developed a number of wonderful models that have allowed me to express my own voice in terms of cosmetic & tonal preference but why not bring your own voice and let me know what you want from your guitar? We are all here to help.
This guitar is handbuilt in China. The quality of the instrument is first class both in terms of fit and finish and the high end components used. This particular model is very lightweight and easy to play. There is no equivalent main brand guitar as this is Eastman's own design. Therefore is cannot be directly compared.
Brilliant from start to finish. All three guys were involved at some point, and I can't fault how attentive you have all been - and so caring - Jake I really appreciate you promising to bar me from the store for the sake of my bank balance if I mention buying any more guitars for a while!!
Top, top service, with a smile - and a belly laugh or two along the way.
I love you guys! Be proud, Richard - Jon, Jake and Chris are the best 'behind the scenes' advert for Richards Guitars that you could possibly hope for.

Unbelievably beautiful baritone
I ordered my Furch Blue BARc SW back in January; Furch's quoted build time was accurate, and I collected the beast on 11th April. I left it until now to write a review as I wanted to test it both at home, and a a live gig, which is why I bought it.
It does exactly what I wanted it to do, delivering playability and lush tone, without any of the 'slack string intonation' issues that one can find when dropping a full step down on a guitar that's not designed for that.
What is especially pleasing though is the sheer beauty of this instrument; the Walnut back and sides are highly figured and very dark, and it's as good to look at as it is to play. Anyone wondering if they might be better served, aesthetically speaking, by ordering a Yellow BARc should give pause for thought - this Walnut is a joy to behold.
As always, my sincere thanks to Jon, Jake and Chris for their unending support and good humour; it's always a pleasure to be in your company, and thank you again for this amazing guitar.
